Just wondering if you are trying to feed it a F/T or live. I have an 05 male hognose that has just started eating from fasting for about 3 months. I was able to force feed it a couple pinkie heads during its period of refusing to eat. They were F/T pinkies. I recently tried a live pinkie and he had ate it within 5 minutes. You say your husbandry is okay, but do you house them together? Yours may be getting stressed out from the other hogs if so. What about light? Hognoses are diurnal snake and they should be fed in light and not in the dark as they are not active in the dark. Have you tried scenting with a frog or tuna water? This also works sometimes.

Just thought I would list some things that you might have overlooked. Hope this helps.
